Rhodora [JANUARY 
of Quebec and northernmost Maine, as well as on the Saskatchewan 
Plains has been already characterized.! The others, which seem not to 
have been heretofore distinguished, are as follows: — 
S. HISPIDA, var. disjuncta, n. var., caulibus gracilibus 0.7-2.5 dm. 
altis albido-tomentosis; foliis utrinque hispidulis, basilariis spathulato- 
oblanceolatis 1-2 cm. latis, caulinis 2-5 infra inflorescentiam basilariis 
similibus; panicula racemiformi subsimplici laxe cylindrica 3-15 cm. 
longa, pedicellis remotis 1-5-cephalis; involucro 5-6 mm. longo. 
Stems slender, 0.7-2.5 dm. high, white-tomentose: leaves hispidu- 
lous on both surfaces; the basal spathulate-oblanceolate, 1-2 cm. 
wide; the cauline 2-5 below the inflorescence, similar to the basal: 
panicle racemiform, subsimple, loosely cylindric, 3-15 cm. long; 
pedicels remote, 1-5-headed: involucre 5-6 mm. long.— New- 
FOUNDLAND: calcareous cliffs, Steady Brook Falls, near mouth of the 
Humber River, July 16, 1910, Fernald, Wiegand & Kittredge, no. 4071 
(TYPE in Gray Herb.). QvknEc: calcareous cliffs, altitude 900-1125 
m., Table-top Mountain, August 7, 1906, Fernald & Collins, no. 775; 
Montmorency Falls, August 4, 1902, J. R. Churchill. 
S. HISPIDA, var. tonsa, n. var., caulibus glabris vel sparse puberulis; 
foliis glabris vel glabratis vel subtus ad nervos pilosis margine eciliatis 
vel sparse ciliatis, basilariis oblanceolatis vel anguste obovatis 1-2.5 
em. latis plerumque subacutis, caulinis 7-20 infra inflorescentiam 
basilariis similibus gradatim minoribus, superioribus 1—5 cm. longis 
2-8 mm. latis; panicula thyrsiformi densa; involucro 3-5 mm. longo. 
Stems glabrous or sparingly puberulent: leaves glabrous, sub- 
glabrate, or pilose on the nerves beneath, the margin without cilia or 
sparingly ciliate; the basal oblanceolate or narrowly obovate, 1-2.5 
cm. wide, mostly subacute; the cauline 7-20 below the inflorescence, 
similar to the basal, gradually smaller; the upper 1-5 cm. long, 2-8 
mm. wide: panicle thyrsiform, dense: involucre 3-5 mm. long.— 
NEWFOUNDLAND: serpentine tableland (altitude 550 m.) and slopes of 
Blomidon, August 21, 1910, Fernald & Wiegand, nos. 4074, 4075 
(TYPE in Gray Herb.), 4076, 4077; heath on diorite tableland, alt. 
380 m., Lookout Mountain, Bonne Bay, August 26, 1910, Fernald, 
Wiegand & Kittredge, no. 4079; barrens at base of serpentine table- 
land, Bonne Bay, August 27, 1910, Fernald, Wiegand & Kittredge, 
no. 4080. QUEBEC: Jupiter River, Anticosti, July 20, 1883, J. 
Macoun; Riviére du Loup, August, 1914, Bro. Victorin, no. 588. 
New Brunswick: Nepisiguit Falls, August, 1873, J. Fowler. 
In its most pronounced form closely simulating the southern S. 
erecta Pursh, but distinguished by its deep orange-yellow rays and by 
the greener involucre with fewer series of bracts. 
S. HISPIDA, var. arnoglossa, n. var., caulibus crassis puberulis 2-3 
1 Hook. Fl. Bor.-Am. ii. 4 (1834); Fernald, Ruopona, x. 87 (1908).
